Phillips, Clerk to the District Council, reported negotiations with the T.V.R. Co. with the view of purchasing a piece of land adjoining the Gadlys New School. The Company are prepared to sell the land required for £ 414.—It was agreed that the purchase be made. APPLICATIONS. Mr. W. T. Williams, David-street, Aberaman, asked for the use of Blaen- gwawr School for musical practices.—■ Miss George asked for the use of the Town School to held a sale of work for the object of securing a piano for the school. MUMPS AND LOW ATTENDANCE. Mr. J. A. Williams, headmaster of Cwjuaman School, wrote stating that the attendance was low owing to the preva- lence of mumps.—It was agreed that the Medical Officer of Health be asked to re- port. SUPPLY TEACHERS WANTED. Mr. Poole, headmaster of the Town National Schools, asked for some sup- ply teachers.—The Clerk said he had al- ready made arrangements. REGARDING NATIONAL SCHOOL APPOINTMENTS. Mr. A. P. Jones, on behalf of the man- agers of the Aberdare National School, asked the committee to confirm the ap- pointment of Mr. A. C. Birch as assist- ant certificated master at the National School, and asked that he be paid ac- to the scale of the committee.— j chard's said that the committee 1 confirm the appointment without holding out any prospects regarding' ad- vance in salary according to the scale of the committee.—Mr. T. Walter Williams suggested that Mr. Birch be put on the same footing as other National School assistants who had been already ap- pointed by the committee.—Mr. D. P. Davies moved that Mr. Birch be placed on the same terms as other assistant masters in the school.—Mr. J. Howell seconded.—1The Chairman said that they would be committing themselves to act similarly with regard to future appli- cants.—Mr. J. II. James moved that the matter be deferred until more inform- ation be ascertained regarding the con- ditions of employment.—Mr. J. Howell: Why should the non-provided teachers be treated different to the others? Our ob- ject should be to get the best education. —Mr. D. Davies: It is a question of prin- ciple. The National Schools must be under our control if they are going to receive anything from the rates.—It was eventually agreed that the appointment be simply confirmed. "THE ROBERTSTOWN BLIND BOY. The Swansea Institution for the Blind asked that J. H. Preddy, Thomas-street, Robertstown, who is now at that institu- tion, should be retained there another year.—It was agreed to write to the Board of Education for permission. GADLYS HOUSE.

The Boa.rd of Education had replied to the effect that it was the duty of the Man- agers to complete the agreement, and that they were not relieved from the obligation by any failure on the part of the local authority to fix the salaries.
CUMORCAN COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION…
CUMORCAN COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION 1907. To the Electors of the Llwydeoed Division. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AT the request of a large and in- fluential number of the Electors ofjjthis Division, I have consented to allow myself to be nominated as a Candidate for the vacancy in the representation of the Ward, caused by the elevation of Mr. Rhys Llewelyn to the Aldermanic Bench. I have already been your Represen- tative for two years on the District Council, and I find my experience as a business man has been of great help to me in serving you thereon.

With regard to Education, my views on this question are well known to you, and it is unnecessary for me to tell you that I shall strongly uphold the principle that representation should always go with taxation.

Mountain Ash District Council.
Mountain Ash District Council. On Tuesday, Mr. Bruce Jones, J.P., in the chair. The other members were: Messrs. Wm. Davies, R. Parsons, Hugh Price, John Powell, J. P. Davies, W. Fenwick, T. W. Jones, J. Charles, W. Griffiths, W Millar, W. S. Davies, P. N. Gray, J.P., D. Rogers, Rev. E. V. Tidman, with Mr. Linton, jnr. (deputy clerk), and Mr. W. G. Thomas (surveyor). LETTER BOX PLATES. Several members referred to the r e- moval of time plates from local letter boxes. This had been done since about 18 months ago, and they had not yet been re,placed.-It was resolved to call the at- tention of the Postal Authorities to the matter. THE NEW CEMETERY. L.G.B. ADVOCATES ECONOMY. A letter had been received from the Local Government Board with reference to the New Cemetery. The Board had had under consideration the report of the Inspector, who had held an Inquiry regarding the site and the borrowing of < £ 12,000 to convert Maesyrarian into bur- ial grounds. The Board approved of the site, which was suitable. The Board also sanctioned the loan, but they wished to suggest that the District Council should consider whether the estimate for the works could not be reduced. For in- stance, it had been proposed to erect a stone wall 8ft. hig-h all round the grounds. A wall that height was un- necessary. All that was required was a wall sufficiently high to keep dogs and other animals out of the grounds. Should the Council decide to make any alter- ation, the Board would require drawings of same. The Surveyor said they had resolved that the wall should be 8ft. under the impression that the Act demanded it. If they reduced the height by 2ft., they would save. .£128. The oost of the pro- posed wall was £630. A fence would cost J3308, X122 less than a stone wall. Mr. Rogers was of opinion that a stone wall was preferable to an iron fence. Be moved that a stone wall be erected, the height to be 6ft.—Mr W. Davies seconded. In reply to Mr. J. Charles, the Chair- man said that Lord Aberdare did not insist upon an 8ft. wall. Mr. W. Griffiths said that a committee ought to sit on it. Mr. W. S. Davies: Sit on the wall? (Laughter.) Mr. Powell: That would be better than to sit on a fence. Finally, it was agreed to refer the matter to committee.. .L d l 0 COUNTY SCHOOL. Mr. J. Powell said that Aid. William Jones had mentioned to him that ar- rangements would soon be made for the first meeting of the Mountain Ash Coun- ty School Governors.. They wished to know whether the District Council would permit the use of the Council Chamber for the meetings pending the allocation of proper offices. On the motion of Mr. W. S. Davies, permission was granted. ABERCYNON CHAMBER OF TRADE. The Abercynon Chamber of Trade wrote that at their meeting a resolution had been passed strongly disappr6ving of the system of scavenging carried on by the Council, and urging that an im- provement be made. They had also re- solved that the action of the Council in not including back lanes in scavenging contracts, be disapproved of; and, fur- ther, they regretted that the lowest ten- der for scavenging in the Abercynon Ward had not been accepted. Mr. J. Powell: I think we did accept the lowest tender. Capt. Gray: Where did they get their information from? The Surveyor explained that the al- leged lowest tenderer only guaranteed 3 horses, and wanted extra for anything further. Mr. Powell moved that they write to the Chamber pointing out that the Coun- cil had adopted what amounted to the lowest tender. He was pleased to note that the people of Abercynon were tak- ing an interest in local affairs, but it was their duty to disabuse their minds in the matter under discussion. Mr. Powell's motion was agreed to. RATE OF 2s. 6d. ATTEMPTS AT REDUCTION. The Clerk stated that the estimate had been adjourned at the last meeting owing to the illness of Mr. F. Stock, the ac- countant. Mr. Stock -was still unable to be present, but he had sent a letter. In it he stated that according to the estim- ate, a rate of 2s. 6d. in the < £ must be levied for the current half-year. It would be necessary to strike out some of the items of expenditure if they wished to make a rate of 2s. 4cl. He had thought that there would be a balance in hand on 31st March to meet portion of liability on Perthgelyn Waterworks, but the whole balance was = £ 646 3s. 10d., whereas there was a debit balance on the Gas Under- taking of zC261 13s. 4d., and on the Water Account of < £ 284 Is. 2d. So that really the net balance in hand was verv small. Mr. J. Powell: < £ 100 odd. Mr. Rogers: The policy of the Council some years ago was to be in debt at the Bank. But now we are dreadfully afraid of being < £ 50 wrong at the Bank. Rev. E. V. Tidman remarked that there was need of economising in several instances. They could then reduce the rate. Chairman: I wish we could reduce it by Gel Finally the matter was referred to committee, with full power to deal with it. APPLICATIONS AND COMPLAINTS. ,T.W• Rawlins, a boy employed at the Gas Works, applied for an increase of wages. -On the motion of Mr. R. Parsons i seconded by Mr. D. Rogers, it was de- cided to grant the application and raise his wage from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per day. Mr. Powell asked if it was the duty of a Council employee to report a leakage of water when he was informed of it — The Surveyor replied that it was.—Mr. Powell: A woman reported a leakage the other day, and the employee told her to tell one of the Councillors, that it was none of his business. (Laughter.) Mr. J. Charles called attention to the need of improving Arthur-street, iJs. kin, which was, he added, one of the worst roads in the whole district. Mothers had to carry their children over it.—The Surveyor observed that they were going on with the Penrhiwceiber Pleasure Grounds, but he would attend, to Arthur-street very shortly. Mr. R. Parsons again complained of the ash-tip at Cwmpennar, and asked that it be removed. Mr. Powell applied for permission to perform 'a play at the Institute next Christmas Day, and the application wa., granted. Mr. Hugh Price moved that the Private Street Improvement Act be put in force in Glynmynach-street, Ynysybwl. MR. STOCK'S ILLNESS. Mr. F. Stock, accountant to the Coun- cil, wrote thit he was still unable to at- tend owing to illnes, and that he had also suffered a bereavement, his father hav- ing died recently. A vote of sympathy was passed, and it was decided to employ Mr. Linton's clerk at Cardiff, in Mr. Stock's place, until his -return.

There were seyoral pieces of meat hang- ing oukide the premises. The defend- ant was holding a leg of' mutton, and shouting, I-lere is a leg of mutton for you, going for next to nothing." He was also shouting, "Hullo! Hullo! Hullo 1" Witness spoke to defendant, who replied, It is not my fault; why don't you turn them away." The witness then told diirn he would be reported^ and the defendant retorted, U Report me then, and rHo fight it out. P.S. Lewis corroborated. Major Morgan remarked that defend- ant had been summoned on a previous occasion for a similar offence, when he was discharged on payment of costs. De- fendant (who was not present in court) was now fined 40s. and costs or one month. James Mack, an assistant at Nelsons, Ltd., butchers, Mountain Ash, was also charged with obstruction. Evidence was given that defendant attracted a crowd of 300 persons near his shop. Clerk: That is the opposition shop, is it ? Witness: Yes. Witness went on to say that he spoke to defendant, who went into the shop and. was told by the rnangeress, "There you are, I told you to be careful." Defendant was fined 10s. and costs. NUISANCE. Albert Davies was fined 5s. and costs for committing a nuisance in Penrhiw- ceiber-road. CARD PLAYING. Howell Evans, Robert Tucker, Fred Ashton, and Wm. Ewington, Tyntetown, were summoned for playing' cards on a Sunday. P.S. Evans said that when he appeared on the scene the whole crowd ran away. He picked up one 6ard and two half- pence, also a cap belonging to one of the defendants. Why did you run away," asked the Clerk of one of the defendants who de- clared that he was not playing. Defendant: Because the others ran away. (Laughter.) t Ashton, who did not appear, was fined 15s., and the other three 10s. each. Frederick Gibson, Joseph G'ti-on. and Samuel Griffiths were similar! v charged. —P.C. Griffiths gave evidence, and fille of 10s. each was imposed. NO DOG LICENSES.

Miidon came to his assist- ance, and took the name of the owner.— Defendant was ordered to pay the amount of damages inflicted, and the costs of the case. LANDLORD ASSAULTED. George Groves, landlord of the Naviga- tion Hotel, Mountain Ash, summoned Dennis McCarthy for assault. Groves said that the assault took place on March 30th at stop tap.

P.C, Elias Thomas said that he saw prisoner in a gulley at the rear of Wood- land-street, Mountain Ash. He had a bucket of mortal- in his hand. lIe .was coming from the direction cf the Eecre- atipn Grounds. Asked if ho had had permission to take the mortal1, he replied that he had not. Wm.

CHARGE AND COUNTER CHARGE Martha J ano White, 18, Pentwyn Avenue, Matthewstown, applied for a separation order from her hUb band, George H. White, now of Barg'oed. Mr. W. Thomas, Aberdare, represented complainant. I Mrs. White said that defendant left her about 2 years ago, at Porth, but he had cohabited with her since then. She was married to him 5 years ago. The defendant remarked that he. would like to have the case adjourned. He could have witnesses to prove that his wife had committed adultery with a ledger at Porth. Mrs. White denied this, and declared that defendant was living with a woman at Bargoed. She had not seen him for a long time, until last Easter Monday, when she saw him in a trap with the woman in question. Defendant gave evidence, and ag-a,il charged his wife with being unfaithful to him. The man had been fined 0-£2 In". for assaulting him and insulting his wife. That was at Porth. The Bench did not credit defendant's story, and made an order of 15a. a week. ARREARS. Sarah Davies summoned Geo. Davies, Penrhiwceiber, her husband, for main- tenance arrears, amounting to cYIO 15s. The order was made last July. Defend- ant excused himself by stating that there had been a strike at Penrhiwceiber, and that his father and mother were ill.— He was committed to prison for two months, the order to be suspended if he would make an offer to pay. SETTLED, GENTLEMEN." The case of George Drew, Ash, against Richard Williams, njilk vendor, was called. This was a case &1*" journed since last court to enable to bring witnesses. When the and defendant's names were now calle<Jr Drew shouted from the body of the court'' Settled, gentlemen." ALLEGED FRAUD. ,SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST FFORCHAMAN WEIGHER. Llewelyn Jones, Tanybryn-street, Aber- dare, ex-schoolmaster, and at present ployed as weigher at the Fforchaman Coi'r liery, was charged with making false tries on the weigh book of Colliery with intent to defraud tb Powell Duffryn Co. Mr. W. Kenshole prosecuted, and M1'" W. Thomas, Aberdare, defended. Mr. Kenshole said that he proposed call only sufficient evidence to justify remand. The prisoner was a {L employed by the Company, and the bo<?^ showed that there had been for a pWl0> of 18 months a systematic defrauding.0* the Company by the insertion of fa entries- such as crediting certain with a larger number of trams than had really filled. The Company had W look up three other books, so it was possible to proceed with the case tb0, day. P.S. Roberts deposed to arresting oner in the weighing office. NIThell charged at the Police Station, he r plied, "I have got my defence." T. Luther Davies, manager, said K had investigated the weighing book by prisoner. He had entered for a ^°ri man named Chas. Woodhouse, 19 ti^/j' whereas the checkweigher had only V trams, and the Billy weigh-book sh0^e only 14. As the result of that false try, Woodhouse had been paid £ 1 lis. W 1 more than was really due. He had examined those books from .July 1906, and he had discovered-that was an excess weight entered for house. There was also a large number °i other entries which did not corresp011 with the checkweigher's book. if Mr. W. Thomas said he was not gOI to question witness. He would at 011 ask for bail. Mr. Kenshole objected to bail. It peared as if there was a conspiracy tween the prisoner and a number others. If the prisoner were bail, the conspirators might meet J I aid thus frustrate the eucSS jit tV: Thomas said he could >e oanh that his client would not L <c v, m any way. He had a couiple.n i" id o the charge. He had been £ Aberdare for 28 years, and up to n116 nothing was known against him. ,g> had been a schoolmaster for many -"efry ■and had been in the employ of the I for 8 years. If prisoner were to C^.rdiS, it would be very difficult i him to prepare. a defence.
